Justin T. Maxwell studies tree rings to reconstruct past climate and understand how forests respond to changing conditions. His work uses growth patterns in tree rings to estimate historical temperature, drought, and streamflow going back centuries, and examines how trees grow and use water under stresses like aridity, flooding, and volcanic cooling. Much of the research focuses on forests in the eastern and southeastern United States, as well as tropical regions.
